Crosley Furniture Everett Media Console and Record Player Stand with Storage for Vinyl Records, Mahogany

I am very pleased with how this piece looks. Also, I am very pleased with the quality of the wood. It's heavy enough to have a substantial feel that cheap furniture lacks. I like the functionality with one criticism. The good parts are the hinged lid has a nice action and means my turntable is protected when not in use... and when in use. The area underneath has good smart and useful dividers. And the left side has moveable shelves which can accommodate accessories... or I might even turn it into a liquor cabinet. My criticism is this: The space for the turntable is tight. Mine fit, but you can see in the photos that my power and RCA cords are squeezed very tight and barely fit. Also, if your turntable has a plastic cover that hinges open, you almost certainly wont be able to leave it on. So, I'd recommend you measure your turntable and make sure it will fit. I also had one blemish on the console which is unfortunately right on the front of the hinged lid. Not a huge deal to me... I will fill it with some color and call it good. Overall I would give it a 9/10, losing one point for the tight space for the turntable. I'm really pleased otherwise.

This is very well designed and high quality. There are lots of pieces and hardware, but the instructions were clear and I was able to put it together by myself. However I really could have used a second person when attaching the right top panel over the turn table section. You really need someone to hold it up while putting in the 4 short screws to hold it in place. I was able to do it after several frustrating tries. The back panel is wood and not some cardboard back. There is a hole on each side in the back to feed cables, etc. (I don't think the spec I viewed prior to buying it showed the back hole on the right for the turn table). The biggest criticism I have regards the last step when installing the left outer door panel. Each sliding door has two pins on the top. The pins have to be "down" to get the door in and then you manually slide the pins up to hold the door in place. I was able to do that for the left pin. But since you have to be able to access the pin on the back of the door to slide it up, I couldn't slide the pin up on the right because the inner sliding door on the right is in the way. They should have designed the pins with a spring that don't require manual manipulation. I was short one screw when assembling it, but it came with extra hardware so crisis averted. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase. I made sure I measured my equipment first to ensure it would fit in this console.

Nicely designed and well manufactured in terms of industrial precision, compared to similar products from the same category less than $400. My purchase from this product is to reduce the chance of the dust accumulation on the sound system equipment, and this product functionally is a perfect match with the simple design, yet a sleek modern style. The spring hinge supporting the lift-up cover is a very smart choice in design for the record player compartment; the cover can be lift up and stay at any angle within a 90-degree scope. The space underneath is sufficient enough for me to store a set of repertoire records and the doors are well engineered structurally as well, sliding left and right smoothly staying on the track. Overall, that conveys the quality for such a media console within the price range as mentioned, particularly for its finishing surface. To my purchase, the console partially does not meet the expectation because of the small sized compartments; it won't fit some serious electronic equipment, say, Marantz PM-10 along with the same size CD/SACD player SA-10. It fits the width but not the other dimension of the equipment in depth. In addition, the record player compartment with the lift-up cover won't fit my one vertically, either. To solve the problems, some reviewers suggested rearranging the shelve of the record player compartment by drilling holes on both sides but to my solution, I added two wood planks, approximately one inch by half the size to have the lift-up cover rested on the planks (see photos attached) and increase the vertical dimension to fit my record player. The solution is easy to put in place if one has a pretty much scaled wood workshop. For the left part of the console, in order to increase the depth, I simply drilled holes on the back panel so that the connectors on the amplifier can go through the holes and extend outside the console. I believe that this solution saves my time if I build the console myself to match my individual needs. I am very pleased by the result the solution turns out. I leave 4-stars here and hope that it will bring the manufacture's attention to produce another version with the right sizes.

Wonderful product, looks way more expensive

Purchased for store of Phonograph and vinyls.

I was looking forward to getting my crosley cabinet but I couldn't believe the terrible quality especially for a cabinet costing over 600$. First, it was damaged in various areas, some dents and scratches were already poorly touched up and some deeper chips were not. During assembly, the some pieces didn't tigthen properly and the more I tried the more worn the hardware became and the pieces stayed loose. Now I would actually have to install metal "L" brackets throughout the cabinet to keep it together. The worst part of this piece of garbage was the flip up lid where the turntable goes. The holes didn't properly align and so the top never sits straight or level on the cabinet. I tried numerous times to pilot new holes to fix it and it only got marginally better. Even the instructions were terrible, specifically when installing the sliding doors. The manual tells you to put the second door first (after installing the handle) and by that point you no longer have access to the clip at the back of the first door which locks it into the track. So you need to remove the handle on the second door, for access to the first one, then reinstall it again. All in all, a worthless piece of trash and I will definitely be returning it. Avoid at all costs. Maybe if it was 250$ it would be acceptable at best but not at this ridiculous price for damaged presswood with a cheap wood veneer.
